New feature of Li Pi Hua Shan, second-level professional!
Boom—!
The ground in front of Guanghan Palace was smashed directly into a large hole!
Tanking the damage head-on!
Brutal!
This fighting style was too brutal!
Everyone gasped in cold air.
They looked at Lin Xuan.
He was standing calmly in place, his left hand wrapped in golden light, looking at Sasaki in the hole in front of him with disdain.
"Cough, cough... Damn it!"
"How is this possible!"
"Why was there no damage!"
Sasaki lay on the ground, shouting angrily.
That strike just now was too sudden.
Fire Release!
That had fire damage.
But the opponent seemed to have ignored it.
It must have something to do with the golden light in Lin Xuan's hand!
But what exactly was that hand wrapped in golden light?
Why could it break his move?
More importantly, he didn't see Lin Xuan's health bar drop!
Sasaki couldn't figure it out.
But he knew, Fire Release, this skill he kept as a trump card, was gone!
Was he really going to fall here today?!
Sasaki was unwilling to accept this.
Of course, there was one more thing.
He looked at the heavily injured Yamamoto Kawa in the distance, feeling a pang of heartache.
No one knew the relationship between the two of them.
That was a bond that transcended friendship!
Bastard!
"Damn it, I must kill you!" Sasaki drank a potion and roared in his heart.
"Hmm?" Lin Xuan saw him move and frowned slightly, "He didn't pass out."
"As expected, the characteristic of Splitting Mount Hua can only be applied to normal attacks."
Just now, inside Guanghan Palace, he had obtained quite a few skill points.
So he had prioritized upgrading Splitting Mount Hua to level five, unlocking the skill effect.
The effect of Splitting Mount Hua was that it could transfer the amplification effect.
In other words, there was no need to cast the Splitting Mount Hua skill.
He would still enjoy the effect of doubling physical damage for every ten thousand health points.
Lin Xuan was able to use a normal attack, a single whip kick, to instant-kill Yamamoto Kawa.
He had used this exact characteristic.
He just hadn't expected that after using the physical attack of Great Buddha Hand to immune the mage damage and smash Sasaki to the ground, he hadn't instant-killed the opponent this time.
It was obvious.
The nine-hundred-fold damage effect had not been applied.
Only his own strength was used.
At this moment, having recovered his state, Sasaki, who rushed up to launch an attack, did not release any skills.
Instead, he pulled away to create distance, coming to the side of the fallen Yamamoto Kawa.
Lin Xuan didn't stop him.
He didn't care.
In fact, he hadn't originally intended to kill these two.
As retired Professionals, the opponents might have life-saving items on them.
Not dying, just falling into a coma from heavy injuries, was the manifestation of those life-saving items.
Of course, not killing them was only temporary.
If the opponents didn't know what was good for them and continued to provoke him, he wouldn't mind killing these Professionals from Sakura Country directly!
Gulp, gulp—
Yamamoto Kawa had already been revived and woken up.
He glared viciously at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan glanced at him lightly, paid no more attention, and instead looked at those Otherworld Demon Race standing in the distance.
However, while he didn't care, Yamamoto Kawa and Sasaki didn't think so.
Especially Yamamoto Kawa.
He was a person who valued his face very much.
Being instant-killed just now was definitely an accident!
If he had been serious, the situation just now absolutely wouldn't have happened!
With his state restored, Yamamoto Kawa felt he was good to go again.
He fiercely drank two bottles of BUFF potions and slashed directly at Lin Xuan, who had just turned around.
"Seeking death!"
Lin Xuan laughed.
He had already given them a chance.
Since they didn't cherish it, then don't blame him!
Lin Xuan didn't consider himself a good person.
What kind of era was this?
An extraordinary era with foreign enemies!
In this world, whoever has the bigger fist gets to stand and speak.
Don't mention being from Sakura Country, even if they were Professionals from Xia Country, if they attacked Lin Xuan again, he wouldn't hold back anymore!
This time, Lin Xuan didn't take it head-on.
Instead, he released Void Walk, slightly shifting his position.
He directly used the real Splitting Mount Hua, slashing towards Yamamoto Kawa's heart.
"No!"
Yamamoto Kawa was terrified.
But all that greeted him was a palm carrying golden air waves.
Bang!
A muffled sound.
Yamamoto Kawa flew directly towards the square of Guanghan Palace, falling down a hundred meters away.
Subsequently, a large pile of equipment appeared where he fell.
This was equipment dropping, a sign of death!
"Yamamoto-kun!" Sasaki roared in grief.
Boom—!
Then, the world suddenly went dark.
A powerful aura erupted from Sasaki's body.
Fire Shadow Profession.
Roaring could increase damage.
But the powerful aura he had at this moment was not due to using a professional characteristic.
Instead, he had chosen to breakthrough!
For a level 99 Professional, there were two ways to cap one's level.
One was to take a Meridian-Sealing Pill.
The duration of each Meridian-Sealing Pill was also ten years.
After taking it, killing monsters would not yield experience points, and the drop rate of all items would be reduced by half.
It would also deduct ten years of lifespan.
It could be said that it was trading lifespan for attributes.
The other way was to complete the first-tier to second-tier breakthrough quest and then choose not to finish the quest.
The time limit for this breakthrough quest was also ten years.
Precisely for this reason, many Professionals would choose to go adventuring to grind attributes after completing the breakthrough quest.
After all, if they encountered danger, they could complete the quest on the spot and breakthrough to the second tier to escape the danger.
Sasaki had chosen the second method.
Of course, to prevent accidents from happening, if a professional player was level 99 and their experience was above fifty percent, they had to take a Meridian-Sealing Pill if they wanted to compete.
When Sasaki was a professional player before, he had used the first method.
Then, in the fifth year after his retirement, the effect of the Meridian-Sealing Pill disappeared.
Sasaki grinded monsters to max out his experience and completed the promotion quest but didn't finish it.
He had originally thought that this situation of a temporary breakthrough to the second tier would only be used five years later, when the time was running out.
After all, that would be maximizing the advantage.
But today, he had to use it!
"Ah—!" Sasaki roared towards the sky.
"Damn it, I want you to die!"
With this roar, the aura on his body became even more powerful.
He completed the transformation from a first-tier to a second-tier breakthrough.
A second-tier Professional was already considered an upper-middle-class person on Blue Star.
After all, there were only two fourth-tier Professionals globally.
"Second tier, he has broken through to the second tier."
"The strength of the second tier is much higher than the first tier!"
"For someone like Liu Da Erduo who doesn't cap his level, it's not obvious, but for someone like Sasaki who has capped his level for nearly thirty years, it's a heaven-and-earth change!" Zhang Fan muttered to himself.
Although Lin Xuan was very strong and could instant-kill Yamamoto Kawa in one move, could he handle a second-tier Sasaki?
Chen Wanqiu was also somewhat worried.
She looked at an item in her backpack.
She had made a decision in her heart.
Once Lin Xuan fell into danger, she would use it!
This was an item her father had given her before she came out, and he had instructed her that the effect of this item was not like a Soul Lamp that could only immune damage.
Its effect was extremely powerful.
It could only be used once.
It could only be used at the most critical and dangerous moment.
At the same time, Zhang Fan, on the side, was also quietly holding an item in his palm.
This was his life-saving item.
It was very precious and could also only be used once.
Moreover, outstanding descendants of the Zhang family could only possess one such item in their lifetime.
But if Lin Xuan, this good brother of his, encountered danger, he would use it without hesitation!
"I want you all to die!"
Sasaki had now promoted to a second-tier Professional.
With his current strength, he could take on ten of his former self!
This was not just because of the exponential increase in attributes and skills after promotion.
More importantly, it was the ultimate skill unlocked at level 100!
An ultimate skill was different from the level 50 Awakening Skill.
This was an absolutely violent damage-output skill!
Even if it were a Priest healer, a level 100 ultimate skill would still be a damage-output skill, and powerful enough to instant-kill squishy Professionals below level 100!
Sasaki had reserved enough skill points and directly upgraded the ultimate skill to level five.
Then, he kept forming hand seals, and coordinating with the Fire Shadow's roar characteristic that increased damage, he released the powerful ultimate skill he had just unlocked!
"Earth Explosion Star!"
